Edwin Lascelles (MP)

Edwin Lascelles (1799 in Harewood – 25 April 1865 in Wighill Park, near Wetherby) was a British Conservative Party politician. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Ripon from 1846 to 1857.[1]

Not to be confused with Edwin Lascelles, 1st Baron Harewood (1713-1795).

Lascelles was a younger son of Henry Lascelles, 2nd Earl of Harewood.[2] He graduated B.C.L. from All Souls College, Oxford in 1826, and was called to the Bar from the Inner Temple in the same year.[2] Returned MP for Ripon without a contest in January 1846, he was re-elected in 1852 and retired in 1857.

He died suddenly, of Apoplexy.[3]
